! CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 8.-George Eugel,
the would-be suicide anarchist, IS report
ed to have said to reporters that his letter
| given to the puolic short time sgo, in
which he expressed himself like Parsons,
as wishing either leniency or death, was
forced from him by powerful outside in
fiuence, the nature OF which he dsres not
divulge. He says also this letter was not
written by hi but penned outside the
jsil and sent him to sign. He alleged that
thus being compelled to adept
senti nents which he did not feel
at heart had broker him ell up and he did
not care TO live any longer. He also de-
prevented from signing the petition
which Spies, Fielden and Scbwab had
addressed to Governor Oglesby. Yester-

PARSONS last Plea.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov Instead OF the
individual letter which it was limited
that Parsons would write deplorIng Ike
Spies, Schwab and F'ielden, the loss Of
life at the Haymarket ana abiuring the
force, a decidedly different communica-
ton understood to DE Parsons last pies
was issued tonight. The document is
two columns long, chiefly remarkable for
the absence Of any reference to murder at
the Haymsrket. Parsons addresses the
letter to & locally prominent socialist:
"My Dear Friend, George Schilling,"
ana occupies himself exclusively with @
sketch Of his own life, particularly mis-
actions as leader Of the newly liberated
negroes during the reconstruction times
ia Texas. Schil ing will TeSd the letter
in full to Governor Oglesby tomorrow,
il the Governor will permit. Parsons
closes as follows: "Thus, over 8
very extensive region Of country, among
the cotton, corn and sugar plantations
became somewhat famous as the cham
pIoD Of political liberty. Beloved by the
blacks, was hated and scorned by the
whites. l then believed that the col0red
people were truly freemen and that they
only needed courage to assert themselves,
but | did not then uuder5tar
that industrial servitude made |
political liberty impossible. I
did not know nor did the blacks, |
that they bad been merely emancipated |
from the chattel to wage servitude. !
did not then know that economic freedom |
must be the basis for political liberty, |
and that the wage labor system created |
class anteg0nism and class servitude, !
and now as OF old, the so-called free
blacks in common with their white
brethren, work and die like beasts in the
unceasing mill of wage slavery" t,
THE PREPARATIONS FOR HANGING.
CHICAGO, ILL Nov. 6-Sherlff Mstson
said vhis afternoon: "If I do not hear
from the Governor by tomorrow night
shall st once begin the work of erecting
the sc&ffolds. We have almost enough
material on hand to hang all the men, and
aside from the planks no material will be
required. Tailor Tease and deputies
whom have not yet selected will adjust
the nooses and I will be compelled to
euperintend the affair, while @ force of

The deputy sheriff wanted to study the

those matters bespeak 6 belief on the

easily be put together in an hour. Chief
of Police Ebersold, who is in con-

all of the principal cities, ssys
the rumor that anarchists are coming
here from other places is not warranted
by facts. Instead of them coming here
the few in the city are leaving it.
